Problems solved by technology

Not only was this invention connected to the bed of the person using the tray, it did not provide for the attachment of a computer of any kind in any useful fashion.
This device is on casters on top of the bed so that the entire device must be surrounding the person using the device and requires a considerable amount of work to situate.
It does not allow the computer supported thereon to be inverted.
This system does not fit a personal computer with monitor, user input devices and a PC unit.
This patent does not address a personal computer with monitor, user input devices and a PC unit.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,796,536 introduces a computer support apparatus and method, but fails to address personal computers with independent PC unit, monitor, keyboard and mouse.
This patent does not allow to remotely monitor a personal computer.
